On December 31, 2025, Queen Camilla spoke publicly for the first time about an incident from her teenage years when she experienced unwanted physical contact on a train.
In a pre-recorded interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme—guest-edited by former Prime Minister Theresa May—she shared her story while discussing efforts to address violence against women and girls.
Camilla, 78, explained: "When I was a teenager, I was approached inappropriately on a train. I'd sort of forgotten about it. But I remember at the time being so angry... Somebody I didn’t know. I was reading my book, and this person approached me, and I did fight back."
She shared the experience inspired by others' courage in speaking out, underscoring her ongoing support for initiatives raising awareness about gender-based violence. This aligns with her patronage of organizations focused on supporting survivors and prevention.
Her openness contributes to important conversations about safety and resilience.
